Alle Jahre wieder: das CfgMgmtCamp in Gent drehte sich wieder um Infrastruktur-Automatisierung und Cloud-Themen. In großer Runde besprechen wir mit Niklas Werker, Mar Sydymanov, Leon Krass und Jasper Wiegratz unsere Eindrücke. Neben spannenden Keynotes gab es auch spannende Entwicklungen von Pkl-, Puppet- und OpenTofu-Projekten.
